Puba, Sadat and Jamar - the memories that ride on all these legendary golden age rapppers. I wish I could go back - such a simpler time it seems these days. Struggles felt different back then I feel like. Cheers to the 90s.
We are all taking the opportunity in 2024 to start independent again, this time stay independent and record real music in real studios and manufacture real CDs, Tapes, Vinyls and sell straight to real radio and real radio stations right here in America! Cheers to today and the greatness of what is on the way!
When I think about the direction music has gone I get teary eyed. I'm just glad I grew up in the days when rappers had something to offer. This music today has our children lost.
This shit today ain’t music it’s a play in the ignorance of black peoples by those in control. They purpose is to use black boys and girls to influence our children to be self destructive because they know we are the most easily influenced folk on the earth. If we see it on TV then it must be right especially if we who are the poorest gets paid for it. Real life keep them divided so we can conquer. The crazy thing is we gone spend the next 50 years in complete stupidity and ignorance trying to defend and ignorant ass nigga like a Gucci mane and all slow tongue dragging ass REAL niggas that the record companies can pay to do the record companies job. Hey go out their talk that nigga shit to the young. We’ll give you a Bentley and what else. Real shit by the Nubians and grand master flash was real and they had to stop it. In the white Boyd mind they using the radio to influence young black kids in the way of destruction. We not trying to uplift and enlighten you niggas
I cry listening to this. My childhood was great. My parents would play songs like this and we would dance and rap or be driving around having a good time. Simple times for me but I understand how hard they were for them. Appreciate your parents for everything they do guys, and the joy we brought each other.
I’m glad you were exposed to this the nowaday we have to fight to be who we truly are….most people are moved materialisticly and forget…where they come from
LOL 😂😆😂 I to well about these days my 3 sons would sing and rap with my wife while we played these songs driving around the city or you know " Road Trips". 🎈👏🤎🖤🤎👍👊👍💪💪👊🙏
Grand Puba I felt was down and earth and legendary! Lord Jamar was laid back but truth! Sadat X’s was talking about relationships with a girl that want material shit but let her know it’s not always about that 💯
@@RobizGaming2024 lmaook y’all clearly never heard “punks jump up to get beat down” maybe look into the hateful homophobic shit these guys pushed in the 90s before saying how much more meaningful and less profane they are then modern hip hop. Y’all are just fake hip hop heads, want to hear an album that came out THIS YEAR with “meaningful lyrics”? Listen to the newest SADAT X ALBUM. Ever heard of him? Yeah I thought so, that’s weird it’s almost as if he doesn’t even agree with your own fake hip hop head takes, Bc he actually works with people in the modern underground, Bc he actually cares about hip hop. He cares about its evolution and growth, y’all literally like one tiny period Bc you have nostalgia for it. I’m in my 20s and love this album, I love all the classics from this time but I also love countless modern hip hop albums Bc I actually care about the genre. Y’all have to lie and pretend these old legends share your mindset when they don’t lmao they work with modern people and you would know that if you even actually cared about THEM. But you can’t even take the time to keep up with these people you use 😂 it’s so obvious y’all are just the modern pop rap fans but from the 90s, you were into music a couple years when you were a teenager and then grew out of it and didn’t care enough to actually keep up and be versed in the different sub genres. So now you’re one of these losers who goes on every video older then 20 years old saying how much better it is then now it’s embarrassing. Go actually try to find good modern hip hop it isn’t hard, that’s how I made a top FIFTY hip hop albums of this year and like two of them were “trap” or whatever y’all think modern hip hop is. And again if you’re gonna just choose to stay ignorant and go “no all those 50 albums are bad” again you just said Sadat X album is bad. You’re saying Cormega album is bad, as well as Nas, Rockness from Heltah Skeltah, Diamond D, AZ, RZA, DJ Scratch, Phife, Black Thought……..but please go on about what a “90s hip hop head” y’all are even though you just said all the artists I named make bad music
Sadat that first cat i remember back in the 90's that didnt even try to rhyme every bar. Some bars rhymed, some just didnt, sometimes he would wait 3 or 4 bars to connect a rhyme that links back to the first bar.
Isc23I - Some people still do what you said in the last part of your comment from time to time. You just can’t wait too long to connect the two rhyming words or it’ll sound crazy.
SHOUT OUT TO JEAN CARNE,THE LADY WHO BROUGHT OUT THE ORIGINAL SONG,DON'T LET IT GO TO YOUR HEAD,WAY BACK IN 1978,THE YEAR I TURNED 15.AND SHE STILL LIVING AS OF 08-18-2021 AT AGE 74.HEY JEAN BABY!!
When you look at Brand Nubian, you'll get the idea that record sales ain't the real thing man. Aging of the music is what matters, still bump these legendary tracks.
They just know rappers that have beats that sound all the exact same with fake hi-hats doing sixtuplets at the end of each measure and lyrics so shallow, it's almost the daring to be super basic (because they have nothing else) that appeals to these kids.
Exactly! They nothing about good music especially good hiphop. That stuff out here today is straight garbage and they are out here killing each other. The dumbest shit I ever seen in my life.
@@bobbyf1741 you nailed it bro. And there was such anticipation when he went solo too that he couldn't quite live up to the hype for the reasons you mentioned... Plus his production was seriously lacking as well which didn't help
best music is full of meanings, messages, soul and creativity. and rarely it becomes mainstream. thank ALLAH for that. 'cause of that traxxs like this become timeless.
Bobby Harris are you serious my man ... bro basic bars and what goes up must come down yea science,secondary school stuff and lord thinks he is a lyricist.... Fake news bro
I listen to this so it won't go to my head. When times are tuff and nobody is around I gotta keep my faith and when times are good and rich, enjoy it and still keep faith and be grateful
This was probably 96-97 and is still relevant in 2020. I remember this used to be on public access in Detroit. “I heard ya single on the battle of the beats” 🔥🔥🔥
Smooth AF!!! Grand puba and brand Nubian as a whole WAS WAY ahead of THEIR time!!! THESE talented men NEVER sold THEIR souls... That's WHY THEY dissapeared!!! TODAY is MY 42nd birthday 🎂!! I had TOO GET some MUCH needed throwback nostalgia
sadat x is the most not talked about mc his shit was fire you no its him when ever you here that voice...this is hip hop rap in the raw people .you had shit to think about when the song went off
I recall hearing this in my childhood and thinking the lyrics were deep then. All of them had something real to say here, but Puba, for me, had the most significant one. Late 30s and that rings true even more, especially when you've done for others with no return or even a thank you. Talk about a straight forward verse with reality in it. Can only appreciate this song more now than ever.
The 90's where Hip Hop reached a level of all time high!! Youngsters now a days missed this because this is a representation of the last era of original great music!! Still rocking in January 2020 right chea!! Anyone else?#CLASSIC
Salaam47 Cherub ! Thank you !! These Asiatic are lost and have no soul! ( I’m talking these so called rappers today) My favorite conscious rap group was the X-Clan! Because they know Moors from the Great Seal Association Of Moorish Affairs in NY. Back in early 90’s when me, my Father, His Grace, the Amire and other Moors from Camden and Philadelphia would go to Great Seal meetings. I would talk to Bro:. Mwabbah Bey. He knew some of them personally. ( I quickly put 2 + 2 together and realized. The X-Clan were rocking leather Fezzes with out tassels!!!!🤨 No wonder Professor X mentioned the Great Seal in his second solo album.) A’heil’aam and Salaam Cherub Moor, from the Magi Hypnotist in the East. ❤️🇲🇦🇺🇸✡️🙏🏿
to be honest, this is the only song i know of them. They were ok when I was a teen but didnt really vibe to them like i did No Limit, MA$E, Isley Bros. ect....
@ATHEIST DWL🤦🏿♂️hombre. If you have issues on leaving your mom's basement and talking to people in real life that's on you. It's not hard staying away from people who aren't into what you are. It's also not hard going out, let's say to a store since that's how you equate meeting new people(although there are laws against actually buying people), and MEETING other humans to converse in real life seeing if you have things in common. In real life.... and not just peacocking in RUclips comments. How's that for comprehension?
Just keep playing and promoting the good music from 70s to 90s. There's also good music out there now But you have to do some digging. The majority of good artists today aren't signing with major labels. They self release or put out their stuff on small independent labels
@@Avenue77There's literally more positive and conscious rap music now than there ever has been. Literally 120,000 songs get dropped on Spotify weekly. You should just dig around. Unfortunately over saturation of music can make it harder to find stuff.
I bet if Sadat X blocked his nostrils, he wouldn't be able to make a single sound haha. DMX, good point. You can't mistake those gritty ass vocals either.
8 лет назад
What argument? I keep seeing stuff about DMX can you explain?
We're talkin about MCs who's voice is the most recognizable. I said Sadat X and he said DMX. Have you heard either one of their voices? They both have very original voices that nobody else in hip hop can sound like.
@Amanze The Xzyro brah, this s--- is so dope. The crap they are listening to today doesn't compare with what those cats were doing in the 8ighties. If they think so, go bar for bar with any of the rappers of this day and the 8ighties so they can see - I do it all the time
Timing is everything in my mind. Thankful for the universe deciding this was the track to wake up and shake off the day too. Much love to all the energy it took to make this track that saved my day.
May I say this to you Brand Nubian? It is my first time I heard any of your music and I have to say, I love it! It speaks of true life with an antidote.

Refreshing that a young person can appreciate the ole school hip hop compared to what's out today!
This type of hip hop stays in my playlist & Props to the old school for dropping jewels. Too bad you don't hear rap like this anymore.
Makes me cry sometimes because hip hop was in its golden years around this time. Nowadays, it’s all mumble rap with no substance.

This mix was crazy
So weird this popped up on my RUclips .. RUclips be getting us ready for this battle 🍿
Someone did this on purpose
Who listening to this in 2019 🔥🔥🔥keep your feet on solid ground. Sunday morning sipping coffee ☕☕☕
Still listen in November of 2019. True hip hop not rap
December 2019 right here!
I listen to this 🔥🔥 EVERYDAY!!!
Ahhhhh, the flow of this joint, though! 👍
Real tracks..real music ..true style identical to none
Pray for the generation denied Positive music
Hip-Hop & rap is struggling hard in these times...its barely lasting
Just keep playing and promoting the good music from 70s to 90s. There's also good music out there now But you have to do some digging. The majority of good artists today aren't signing with major labels. They self release or put out their stuff on small independent labels
It’s so saturated and has no substance. The men wanna be women and the women wanna be hard and thugs smh 🤦🏾♀️
@@Avenue77There's literally more positive and conscious rap music now than there ever has been. Literally 120,000 songs get dropped on Spotify weekly. You should just dig around. Unfortunately over saturation of music can make it harder to find stuff.
💯
This is what real hip hop sounds 👍
When talent was real talent. Real rapping and knowledge. Humble yourselves
Sadat X, by far the most recognizable voice in Hip Hop.
DMX has an argument to pick. so does weezy haha
I bet if Sadat X blocked his nostrils, he wouldn't be able to make a single sound haha. DMX, good point. You can't mistake those gritty ass vocals either.
What argument? I keep seeing stuff about DMX can you explain?
We're talkin about MCs who's voice is the most recognizable. I said Sadat X and he said DMX. Have you heard either one of their voices? They both have very original voices that nobody else in hip hop can sound like.
Oh ok thanks. ;)
Lot of knowledge dropped in this track. Let his track get to your head.
great use of this sample!
one smooth track real talk 🔥🔥🔥🔥
The last verse is a hip hop classic. One of the best ever. All time
Peace to the Gods!! Brand Nubian was one and is one of the pioneer groups of hip hop righteousness. It still my THEME music.
when rappers were truly competing to be the best lyrically. I miss these days! Mercy!
Listen to hip hop god's on the internet Chuck D radio station it's still out there
I loved this song 3 amazing artists. I thought Lord Jamar was so fine with the dreads and Grand Puba's flow was my everything.
Every body love a star when he is on top but no one comes around when the star starts to drop ... classic.hip hop ever
Puba is a real lyricist. Brand nubian in my 5 .
Bumping this in 2020! Real music real message!!! Nothing like the old school jams 💯🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
My man Puba.....one of the illest flows outta N.Y.
pay attention to pubas flow is on point with the beat
One of the best to do it
phenomenal track - big ups to vintage rap....
these dudes should have never broke up, all 4 one is such a dope album, timeless classic.
Yessss Zirrr😁😄🙂🤔😎
REAL HIP-HOP (Classic Track)
dis is what hip hop suppose to sound like
Chris Mendez Absolutely
Boom
@Amanze The Xzyro brah, this s--- is so dope. The crap they are listening to today doesn't compare with what those cats were doing in the 8ighties. If they think so, go bar for bar with any of the rappers of this day and the 8ighties so they can see - I do it all the time
Chris Mendez evolves
Timing is everything in my mind.
Thankful for the universe deciding this was the track to wake up and shake off the day too.
Much love to all the energy it took to make this track that saved my day.
from berlin/germany...just woke up with the same track in mind
May I say this to you Brand Nubian? It is my first time I heard any of your music and I have to say, I love it! It speaks of true life with an antidote.
The real world
Brand Nubian was one of the best
go listen to Love me or leave me alone
brand nubiian is royalty
This is when the gods used to have Cypress to build and had knowledge of self.
Right here perfection!
'cause one single don't make you a hit - stay true to who you are and don't never forget...
Yessss one single dont make u a hit
